Diesel & Petrol Prices in Bulgaria

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Volkswagen has introduced a plug-in hybrid version of the seventh-generation California camper. It features a 19.7 kWh battery providing up to 83 km of electric range, paired with a 1.5-liter petrol engine and two electric motors for all-wheel drive. Official fuel consumption is 2.6 L/100 km with CO2 emissions of 70 g/km. The Ocean eHybrid 4Motion starts at approximately €100,000.

Bulgarian company CampoRent offers camper van rentals (motorhomes based on vans) of Roller Team models. The service targets travelers who want to avoid fixed dates and hotel reservations. The price includes insurance, 24/7 roadside assistance, initial gas and water supply, and camping equipment. Some vehicles are pet-friendly.

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region. Tom Hanks' son has swapped Hollywood for a trailer in pursuit of a music career, and a French couple has driven 100,000 km from the North Cape to Senegal — and that's not even the whole story. All this in this issue.

Police in Razlog have launched a pre-trial investigation into the theft of a plasma TV from a caravan parked in the Chiliyata area near the village of Banya. The incident occurred between April 26 and 27, 2026.

Citizens have complained to the regional administration about year-round caravans and pontoons on the shore of the Dabnika reservoir, restricting fishermen's access to the water. A commission has been set up to verify the legality of the installations.
